TROPHY HUNTING

For decades, grizzly bears were hunted in British Columbia for nothing more than a trophy. After years of pressure and active campaigns by First Nations, non-profit organizations (including WDL), eco-tour companies and citizens, the government of British Columbia banned the practice.

While grizzly bears are now safe from hunters, they still face major threats to their survival, specifically in the form of habitat destruction. Stay tuned as we seek to address this issue and join us to ensure grizzly bears are able to thrive in British Columbia.

Caribou defence & the battle to end the BC Wolf Cull

In early 2015, the government of British Columbia announced they would be culling wolves from helicopters in an effort to save endangered caribou herds from extinction. But wolves are not to blame for the loss of caribou. Over 40 years of industrial expansion into critical caribou habitat has decimated population numbers. Wolves are being used as a scapegoat for a government working hand-in-hand with corporations to profit off the destruction of the natural world.

Our Never Cry Wolf campaign seeks to end the cull and ensure caribou are given sufficient habitat to recover and thrive in the South Peace and South Selkirk.
